The Salihiyya Madrasa is a historic madrasa and mausoleum complex in Cairo, Egypt. Founded by the Ayyubid sultan as-Salih Ayyub in 1242, the complex became the first madrasa in Cairo to teach all four of Sunni Islam's schools of law. as-Salih Ayyub's widow Shajar al-Durr added a mausoleum to the madrasa on as-Salih Ayyub's death in 1249, and it deserted after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in 1517.
